I can;t find Veronique (or Mary Veronique as she is on one baptism) after this. I can see Adam on 1841, not with obvious family, and Agnes in the workhouse in 1851, so suspect she may have died as well. Adam may well have emigrated if there was little in the way of family ties to keep him there

Welcome to Rootschat, Glenno52
A Robert Chandler born Chiseldon circa 1785 served in the Horse Guards from 1805 to 1818. I wonder if Veronique was French or Belgian.

Big thanks to everyone who has contributed so far. I'll be busy for a while now sorting through it all :)
Never expected so much so quick.

All the info looks promising. Veronique is a mystery though?
Still... happy to have gone back from Queensland 2018 for a journey of 250+ years into the family history :)
